NOT BEING ABLE TO STOP RECORDING MAKES MAKING A NEW MACRO IMPOSSIBLE
Altt-S used to hiliight a sentence. Ctl-W used to change the order of two words, eg Don Anne
Anne Don. Because there is now no way to complete the creation of a macro this is now impossible. It never used to be that way.

Ctrl+W is the WordPerfect default for the Special Characters window, and Alt+S does not have a default assignment. This makes me think that you had perhaps assigned these key combos to the transposition and sentence highlighting in a previous version of WordPerfect. You can do that again with Tools > Settings > Customize > Keyboards. Then edit the keyboard you are using to make your preferred shortcut assignments.
